You'll get a great view when she wins.

Yes!  I adore Viola.

They shouldn't be starting a half hour later, they should be starting a half hour sooner just to accommodate the In Memoriam reel.

Hey, I got diagnosed with the flu yesterday.  Have some extra wine for me.

[Sugar]

I was totally making fun of the "When We Rise" commercials, but then I spotted Omar Little from The Wire, and goddamnit...now I'll probably have to watch.

[Neeners]

Mrs. Washington has a beautiful dress.

[mojoween]

I like Denzel's hair grown out a little like right now.  Also his wife's dress is gorgeous.

Same! I adore him.

[leighdear]

Mrs. Washington has very big hair. 

[ABay]

The Rock!

Oh, sweetie, you are challenging Damien's lock on worst dressed man.

[Browncoat]

Oh good grief, Dwayne Johnson.  Blue velvet jacket with brown pants?  Just no.

[Sugar]

I love Mrs. Washington's hair! And I adore seeing them at awards shows together :)

I actually dig what The Rock is wearing - it's fun and he's such a sweetheart.

[mojoween]

Jeremy Renner high-fiving his kid before walking the carpet was adorable.

Oh I also do not like Michelle Williams's dress. That is a lot of sternum.

I keep seeing someone in the background wearing the most amazing shade of blue.  Must not be a nominee, since they haven't been interviewed. 

I saw Michael J. Fox and wife Tracy Pollan posing for photos and Tracy is wearing a dress in a beautiful shade of blue.  Maybe it was her.  The style was kind of traditional, but the color was very nice.

I liked the style of Emma Stone's and Nicole Kidman's dresses, but I would have loved them if they had been in brighter colors.  Or any color.

Just coming here to comment on Pauletta's dress. Gorgeous cut and colour, elegant and age appropriate. Nice hairstyle, too.

[Browncoat]

I don't like the red eye shadow on Naomi Harris.

What?! I promised to adore Nicole forever when she ribbed Jimmy Fallon of their horrible "first date".

Well I guess you are stuck now.  LOL

Yes, but she had a huge topknot (chignon?) on her head.  It was way too big.

[Arynm]

Jeremy Renner hi-fiving his daughter as he gets out of his car was the cutest thing I have seen all night! I wonder if he is taking her in or if she is just dropping him off

[Quof]

Why is Salma Hayek in her negligee?

[fireice13]

Are they doing In Memoriam tonight? They haven't the past couple years from what I remember, after the year that they did some individual ones throughout the show and everyone just thought it was so depressing. 

[Browncoat]

I just saw Naomi's shoes -- not a fan of those, either.

Nicole had just made a 'don't ignore my husband gesture' trying to bring him into the conversation before Robin did that so I think that it was fine.

I don't have a issue with Robin talking to him I just don't know why she was mentioning the ACMS there are like 10 different country music awards  and Nicole goes and stands by his side for thosending do they go and talk about her award nominations on them?

[ABay]

Fun fact! I remember when the Rock came into the WWF (as it was then) as Rocky Maivia, and he was AWFUL! The chants of "Die, Rocky, die!" were heartfelt. One heel turn and grabbing of the mike later and a star was born. Still one of the best on the mike ever, perfect give and take with the audience.

[Fostersmom]

Too bad Nina Garcia didn't bother to brush her hair.

It's getting great reviews, especially the young actors embodying the roles in the beginning of the mini-series.

[Wings]

I think Nina Garcia's dress is fabulous.   Hair, no.

It's so great to see Robin Roberts looking so healthy.  I wish I could say the same about her dress.  Don't like the color, or the fit, and hate those straps over the shoulders.  I think she would look good in something peach or coral.  Either color would do more for her than the gold, IMO.

Every time she turns to the side, I think "Dayum, girl, that ass".

[bmoore4026]

Well, I'm here all.  I might be coming down with a cold, but I'm here.

Holy Jesus, does Mel Gibson's date look scared fuckless

Edited February 27, 2017 by bmoore4026

[Browncoat]

Mel Gibson sucks as a human being.

[Neeners]

Hold on. Who is that with Mel??

[ebk57]

Mel... ugh.  I don't get it.

I'm hoping I didn't give it to you.

I know it's easy for me to do from my recliner with a chest full of cat, but I do have another complaint.  I hate Brie Larson's hairstyle.

I read that Charlize's earrings were 26 and 25 carats.  One of those could pay off all my credit cards.

[Fostersmom]

You all know about 15 minutes into the show April the Giraffe is going to go into labor, right? 

Is Mel's girlfriend younger than some of his kids now? 

[leighdear]

Salma's dress is pretty nightgown-ish, but not too bad.  And she makes a headband look great.  

[chitowngirl]

His baby mama.

[Browncoat]

Hate the collar on Ginnifer Goodwin's dress.

[vb68]

I just can't listen to Mel Gibson blather on. It still makes me cringe to see him.

I gave it to meself, I'm sure.

Pretty sure Mel's date has been through a coffee table a couple times.

[Calvada]

Yuck - Mel Gibson.  Can not, will not ever get past the anti-Semitism.  Just go away, will you?

[mojoween]

Emma seems nervous.  

Justin Timberlake needs to stop it.

[megwhite]

Mel Gibson really? what a racist fuck!

[leighdear]

For as much as Emma Stone's dress obviously cost, you'd think they give her a little bit in the boob department.  

[starri]

That was obnoxious of Timberlake.

Obviously Kirsten Dunst got everything that was available in the boob department.

Of course! And they can name the baby Oscar!

Mel Gibson (60) is with Rosalind Ross (26) and she just gave birth to a son- his 9th child. His three oldest kids are around the same age as his girlfriend.
